A women’s college softball coach who lives in Ridgewood was charged Thursday with more than 90 counts of improper sexual contact and behavior, The Journal News of New York reported.

Kurt Ludwigsen, 43, worked as a coach at Nyack College between September and last month, when he was fired after the administration of the Christian school began to receive complaints from parents. Ludwigsen, also known as Kurt Vogner, is accused of behavior including harassment, kissing and unwanted sexual touching involving the 13 players he coached.

Ludwigsen has been charged with 44 misdemeanor counts of forcible touching, 49 misdemeanor counts of second-degree harassment, and one misdemeanor count of third-degree sexual abuse.

He was being held on $15,000 cash bail in the Rockland County jail.

  1. Why would anyone also ‘go by another name’ unless they have something to hide. He sounds like a real creep, just the kind of new resident we DO NOT NEED HERE. I don’t see a home in his name so he’s probably a renter. Maybe the school can do us a favor and buy out the lease so he can go somewhere else.

  2. He lives with his in laws on Unidella.

  3. Prob going to be “former” in laws soon. They must be real proud of this guy. I wondered how a softball coach for a small relatively unknown school could afford to live here.

  4. 93 counts in total….was the Nyack College Athletic Director paying attention…?

    ‘The Christian school’s athletic director and a senior administrator were traveling with the team and immediately conducted interviews with the players that led to a “series of allegations.” The athletic director confronted Ludwigsen, who was fired on the spot and taken to the airport.’
